I'm surprised by some of the overly sympathetic comments here, the guy cheated, not "cheated" etc.
Of course, we're all human, and he's come clean, but his actions potentially had a negative effect on the non-profit and the animals it places; and competing talents were denied their rightful places.
This comment isn't about condemning him or anything, just let's be honest about what happened here; it wasn't ok, or just system-gaming caught out.
- archi42 7y ago> competing talents were denied their rightful places Absolutely. What are the odds he (and/or others in his team?) did this just for this one competition? It's possible, but unlikely he/they invented this (or other) code hiding technique(s) just for this single occasion. Also, the employer did the right thing and kick him out. Now they only have to scrutinize the last few months of his work instead of looking over his shoulders the next few years.
